Rochester in WB cartoons

[dougc]

"Rochester" seems to have been used quite a bit in WB toons. Some toons used Rochester himself (such as "Meet John Doughboy"), while others used parodies (such as Humphrey Bogart turning in to Rochester in "Bacall to Arms").
I believe the last appearance for Rochester was in "The Mouse that Jack Built". I was wondering what WB cartoon first featured Rochester or a Rochester parody, and if anyone has a complete list of the toons that have such an appearance. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Here's some I can think of:

MALIBU BEACH PARTY
JEEPERS CREEPERS
GOOFY GROCERIES
MEET JOHN DOUGHBOY
BACALL TO ARMS

[Thad Komorowski]

WB:

"Patient Porky"
"The Mouse-Merized Cat"
"I Taw a Putty Tat"
"The Mouse That Jack Built"


MGM:

"The Goose Goes South"



It should also be noted that Famous Studios' character Buzzy the crow is a caricature of Rochester. In his first picture, "The Stupid-Stitious Cat", Buzzy was chased by a Jack Benny like cat, who was very superstitious.

Don't forget "Slap-Happy Pappy" and "Pied Piper Porky".

Porky Pig's Feat has an off-screen voice that sounds like a Rochester parody during Daffy's dice game.

It should also be noted that the real Rochester, Eddie Anderson, provided the voice for the Rochester character in The Mouse That Jack Built.

...and of course, thanks to his voice work on the WB cartoons, Mel Blanc wound up working with Eddie Anderson on The Jack Benny Program (and got to do the Rochester voice in front of Jack at the end of an episode of Benny's TV show in 1963).
